The football topic seems to bring out the snob in some people i.e. NO FOOTBALL ALLOWED AT GLATO, IT'S A FESTIVAL! Y'know, the heavy, overbearing attitude?

You'll probably find they might try to show an england game if it's on but don't expect the organisers to bend over backwards for people wanting to watch the football.

I saw england get put out of a euro championship a few years ago against portugal on penalties thanks to a stall holder with a tv. Apparently there were a few stall holders who had tv's.

The world cup is a major world sporting event which appeals to many, so you should be able to catch an england game somewhere, however, expect to only see an england game or the cup final on a Glastonbury big screan.

I'm a massive footy fan but will only have interest in the England matches whilst at Glastonbury. Sure if I was at home I'd watch most of the other group matches but I won't be! It's not even like the quarters/semis/final will be taking place whilst the festivals on.

I'm not bothered whether they show it or not, but the fact is if they don't it'll be a logistical nightmare with that many people trying to leave the sight to watch it.

Can't see they have much choice really.

It could never have it's license granted again. All it would take is for england to lose and a group of pissed up Scots to clash with some pissed up English and it could kick off bigtime.

Yeah, I mean, why take it out on those poor Portuguese car manufacturers! What have they done wrong? Just because they happen to be based in Portugal (who we then lose to) does that really make them bad people? They're just doing the job they've been asked to do - to earn a living, to support a family - and I don't think the fact that they beat us at football can justify their handiwork being destroyed in an act of revenge - if we can't beat them, that's out fault.

Wait a minute....Portuguese car manufacturers? :P

Edit: Apologies if you were referring to 2002 when we lost to Brazil, or 1998 when we lost to Argentina - where the car industries are booming! :P

The idea that peaceful easygoing Glasto goers are going turn into rabid dogs by adding football is utterly banal.

They should show the matches on the big screens next to Stevie Wonder...If we keep quiet he won't notice a thing.....

Sorry, talk of football turns me into a bad person. After a pint of cider in the sun watching England I am going to shave my head, push everyone else down the long drops and hopefully get squirted with one of those big hoses used to control riots... :P

Wtf are you lot on about? Some of the comments in this thread are ridiculous. You just can't pigeon hole all football fans as the same. It's making you look stupid.

First things first is that its a music/arts festival so they won't be showing the game once the weekend starts on any significant stage. Possibly the next round sat or sun IF England get through, in cinema field or similar. I would imagine that the organisers have thought about this.

Anyhoo get a grip numpties!

      I guess we'll just have to wait until videos of the shows go up, but the fact that the standing is also greyed out still suggests to me that those sections just sold out out before the others and a blue block just be like 3 tickets left, it's still not concrete proof they never went on sale and if they were never on sale why would they not make it even, if 414 wasn't on sale then you'd think 409 wouldn't be either

      2027 Headliners

      By smiffy98 · Posted

      I don’t think the festival automatically ‘need’ to have a female headliner if you have strong female headliners on the Other Stage (which I reckon will be Rosalia and Phoebe Bridgers), perhaps a female legend (praying for Annie, will take Cher), and a few female/mix gendered subs on the Pyramid (maybe London Grammar, The xx). From what I’ve seen of Sabrina, her team prioritises the pay day and I think she will be doing Wembley over Glasto weekend.   One thing I’ve noticed is a lot of the suggestions would be first time headliners and I can’t work out when the last time was that the festival had three artists top the bill that hadn’t topped it before? It seems to be something they like to do to make sure they have a ‘safe’ headliner that will land well with the masses. Plenty of names in that hat that could step back up next summer and should/could be about: Billie Eilish, Adele, Foo Fighters, The Cure, Radiohead, U2…hell, if Beyoncé is really planning to release a ‘rock n roll’ album to complete her Renaissance trilogy, Glastonbury would be a great place to ‘kick off’ that campaign for her.   And there’s always the Rihanna rumour. Her husband (I think) said this week she’s in the studio.
